What do you think about enlisting in the USAF?
Because of a unsatisfactory grade report (on one semester) my parents are cutting access to their checkbook for school, which means I am on my own. Instead of heading back to school I would either have a choice of making a living on $9 an hour and paying my own apartment/insurance/food/etc. (which I don't want to do) or the better option at the moment is to enlist - since I had four years of AFJROTC I would earn the rank of E-3 directly out of basic which is a couple hundred bucks more a month then as an E-1, and still a couple hundred more bucks a month then I make now...as well, I could get the G.I. bill, as well as housing and insurance paid for...
I won't be enlisting any time soon but am seriously considering it right now...if I do, I will definitely be smart enough to head to Texas (where basic is) in the fall or winter when it isn't 120 degrees out
Any advice from anyone on what to do? I know there are some ROTC people in here, as well as previous-military people...I come from a military town and my father is a Ret. LtCol so I know what to ask look out for, access to people currently in, etc.
(and the choice for air force is made up - army and marines will not be considered, and don't try to change me to navy without a damn good argument)
